Czech Court Orders PM Babisz to Include President Pavel in NATO Summit Delegation

The Czech Constitutional Court ruled that Prime Minister Andrej Babisz must include President Petr Pavel in the country's delegation to the NATO summit. Pavel had filed a constitutional complaint against Babisz after being excluded. Babisz said he "respects" the court's decision, despite having publicly criticised Pavel's legal challenge just a day earlier.

Will AI ultimately replace most software engineers?
